Special procedures in the hospital refer to medical procedures or interventions that are not typically performed in standard clinical settings. These procedures are usually more complex, invasive, or specialized, requiring additional expertise, equipment, or technology. Special procedures may be employed for the diagnosis, treatment, or management of specific medical conditions that cannot be adequately addressed through routine medical care. Examples of special procedures include surgeries, interventional radiology procedures, endoscopy or colonoscopy, cardiac catheterization, organ transplants, radiation therapy, dialysis, and genetic testing. These procedures are often conducted by specialized healthcare professionals such as surgeons, radiologists, interventional cardiologists, or transplant teams.
